I've never been a fantastic player but i've been around since season 3-4, the current state of this game is absurd. Why is there so much damage just being pumped into the game and champions with absolutely annoying kits??!? I love playing tanky characters top lane however theres just no fun in it anymore because you are either getting ran around in circles by lucians/viktors etc in top lane or assassins just completely deleting you within seconds, this game just doesn't feel satisfying to play anymore :(

here is something to chew on for a min i posted it in a gameplay thread that a RIOTER posted

1st off conqueror is front loaded it gives AD + true damage and its used on champs that are as tanky as tanks at early levels with much more damage out put

i mentioned playing vs fiora and winning due to the fact she played bad and even though i out played her i still lose, still lose trades. cuz of conqueror + ignite ( and her kit )

no tank auto wins , champs like darius, urgot, irelia, akali, fiora , jax all win in lane. and then all out scale. they either get to go conqueror or dark harvest with ignite.

other then SION there isnt a legit viable tank for solo lanes/jungle

Leona/Alistar and to a point Braum are viable in bot lane depending on match up.

why be a tank if you can be urgot get 1 damage item and out damage and tank a tank. or be jax/irelia and have damage reduction gap closers and scale with CC or darius whos only liability as a champ is no gap closer / subject to being kited. is tanker then maokai while able to go damage runes and win trades ( just one example )

darius at lvl 1 582 hp 64 ad 10 hp per 5 39 armor 32 mr and 340 ms maokai at lvl 1 565 hp 64 ad 5 hp per 5 39 armor 32 mr 335 ms

so we see darius has 17 more hp at lvl 1 more hp per 5 same armor and mr and more ms

lets look at lvl 18 darius 2282 hp 26 hp per 10 149 ad 107 armor 53 mr maokai 2180 hp 18 hp per 10 130 ad 107 armor 53 mr

so at lvl 18 darius has 182 more base hp more hp per 10 more base ad and same armor mr

darius dont have to build as much defense to be as tanky as maokai while still building damage and having damage runes to benefit him.

and lets look at builds and how the stack with the base stats darius typical build item 3078 item 3053 item 3111 item 3742 item 3065 (not including passives ) 3857 hp 30% cdr 167 armor 153 mr is his stats lvl 18 with no runes maokai typical build item 3068 item 3047 item 3800 item 3001 3805 hp 217 armor 163 mr 30% cdr

so even with 5 items darius still has more hp 25% less armor and only 10 less total mr with having the same cdr having more damage ,kill potential and auto winning lane vs tanks

so nearly as tanky while having damage and damage runes

this is one example of how its pointless and a handicap to be a tank in the current meta

Me : posts factual statistical evidence of tank champions performing well within scope of viable.

Thats because riot fixes fire with pouring oil all over it. Tanks are OP as concept in league. BCS they do too much damage. At the start of season 8 they were broken. Every single one of them. Only a better tank could beat other tank. They are anti fun CC machines with high base damage and stupid stats. They started dominating early game, where fighters were supposed to be stronger and get a chance to get ahead and carry on a champ that brings more risk, and requires more thinking. And it was shit meta. What riot did was even shittier solution. They said to themselves we got this problem that tanks are unkillable early and no bruisers are played and people are quitting and complaining so what we are gonna do is make them killable. And how? We are going to add true damage rune. And that was retarded. Instead of nerfing tanks early the gave fighters conqueror, and now its the only good rune for them now, ONLY way to win lane often is to go conqueror all the time, and substentually play only conqueror champs. But still its better than tank meta.
